If First really need some good income from a sale, this could fit the bill. Mind you, I was dismayed in March not to be able to use my ZigZag ticket on Kinchbus in Loughborough.

Actually, as First are planning to divest other operations in the Midlands, such as Northampton which is just about in the east Midlands, this could be a good candidate for Wellglade!

I wouldn't mind seeing TM Travel taking over FSY too, but that really is unrealistic!

The latest Solar out the paintshop is 671 which is in the "you told us" livery. It is based at the Sutton depot.

Former Lothian decker 35 is now in Notts and Derby livery.
